USA Triathlete Grady Funk’s story

Grady Funk Prior to seeing Stella at W8less Nutrition, I was consuming a lot of processed grains, cereals, soy, and frozen dinners. I was strictly concerned about my caloric intake rather than the actual makeup of the food I was consuming. I had a lot of indigestion and my energy levels would go up and down all day. I was not aware of the importance of getting my nutrients from its raw source and how it attributes to digestion, recovery, and my overall energy level.

Since I have changed my diet and gotten away from processed foods, I have noticed a steady energy level throughout the day and my recovery rate is far beyond what it used to be. With 30 hours of training a week and 40 hours of work, it is vital I put the correct foods in my “engine” that allow me to complete my workouts with focus, and also allow it to recover for the next day.

Individual. Specific. Nutrition

The Individual: We’re all unique. Comprehensive analysis is generally overlooked in clinical practice. It is imperative to identify imbalances and/or issues related to digestion & metabolism thoroughly with data provided by the client.

Specific: Fad diet companies geared at selling their programs have tried to incorporate a ‘personalized dietary approach’ in marketing agendas. The only accurate “personalized-approach” is to use diagnostic measures, such as: Respiration to figure out resting expenditure, blood testing to understand underlying micronutrient deficiencies (e.g., Vitamin D), stool testing for yeast imbalance and gut-transit issues, and salivary tests for hormones and their metabolic influences (e.g., cortisol and digestion).

Nutrition: The famous quote–“One man’s food is another man’s poison”–is why I study and research nutrient-interactions within our bodies. Nutrition is the foundation to optimal health.
